  1. Allow specifying of ports to open in firewall during certificate generation process to open and close again automatically

    allow for specific ports to be opened when securing/ressecuring Let's Encrypt SSL certs.

    For example, Lets Encrypt needs several ports open in order to reissue SSL so have a field to enter the ports to open when re issuing the SSL.

  3. Update GUID during process migration

    Update GUID during process migration. Plesk migration tool needs to be updated to do this. This will avoid any issues with GUID conflicts.

  4. Laravel ToolKit: Creation of deployment script before first deployment. On the "Install Application" screen.

    When I deploy a Laravel application to Plesk, I always use the Laravel ToolKit extension. I follow all the steps outlined in the documentation to install my application. However, at the end of the deployment process, I still need to go to the extension's Node tab and run the npm install and npm run build commands. It would be nice if there was an option to implement a deployment script on the "Install Application" screen, as this would reduce the amount of configuration that would need to be done in the Plesk panel.

    There is a similar option in the…

  5. remove/update the app options (wikis, CMS, bulletin boards, Squirrelmail etc)

    These are so out of date as to be seriously vulnerable, with versions that mostly cannot be readily installed without installing PHP version 7.0 and (often) to add in the mysql module to PHP even if you are using that.

    These options should be removed unless it can be upgraded to the latest versions of PHP and the mysql module added to PHP - at the very least something on the page BEFORE installation saying that this will require outdated and unsupported versions of PHP and any additional modules so people

    a) know the dangers and also
    b) so they…

    Thank you for your input and consideration for keeping Plesk and its users safe. We are aware that the catalogue is currently outdated. The APS technology itself is outdated. Plesk is currently in the process of replacing the old catalog system with a new extension.

  7. Provide option to preserve or restore cron jobs upon backup restoration

    Currently a backup restoration will delete cron jobs created after the backup creation. There should be an option to backup/restore or preserve cron jobs as they are.

  9. OpenSSH server support in Plesk for Windows

    SFTP (FTP over SSH protocol) Support would come in handy for users who want a more secure way to transfer their files to and from their hosting account. We, as a hosting company, have received many requests for a more secure way to handle file transfers than the classic FTP(S) protocol on Windows Server.

    Newer versions of Windows have built-in OpenSSH server functionality, I think it would be nice to integrate this in the Plesk end-user Panel in a way that users can use SFTP with their account username and (maybe?) configure SSH keys for their accounts for a more…

  10. Configure SFTP storage for backups via CLI

  11. Letsencrypt wildcard certificate, check dns and continue automatically

    When creating a wildcard certificate for a domain where we are hosting the DNS, letsencrypt creates the required DNS record automatically, but then shows a dialog telling us to check the dns before continuing.

    Since plesk created the DNS record and the DNS points to our server, the plugin should be able to verify that the DNS is good and continue automatically.

    If we are not hosting the DNS and we have to manually create the record before continuing, the tools can easily display a 'check dns' button that will do the dns lookup and confirm if good or not.

  12. Backup and restorations should be noted in Plesk's Action log

    As the title says, in order to better understand what have happened in Plesk, Backups and restorations should also leave a note in the Action log for Admin to understand what has been done in Plesk.

  13. Let wp-cron run every minute by default

    Currently, when enabling 'Take over wp-cron.php' and 'Create a replacement task (...)', the cron job that's created only runs twice an hour. (See screenshot attached)

    This seems wrong; any Wordpress cronjob that needs to run at a higher interval, will fire too late.
    There is no performance benefit to running wp-cron less often, in fact, it might cause performance problems, because late jobs would pile up.

    Can the default wp-cron.php interval be changed to every minute, please?


    One source that offers some more explanation: https://wpengine.com/support/wp-cron-wordpress-scheduling/

    Missed crons and crons that run too frequently can both be resolved by enabling the…

  16. Set HELO/EHLO name in MailEnable on Windows at Plesk installation

    A default Plesk install on Windows incorrectly sets the MailEnable hostname to servername.home which is invalid and will cause blacklisting of the Plesk server.

    It must be assigned manually:
    https://talk.plesk.com/threads/how-to-align-the-mail-servers-helo-ehlo-with-proper-dns-forward-and-reverse-values.368890/#post-924515
    ...which also may require creating a subscription on the server because the MailEnable settings requires the "sending notifications" email to be locally hosted.

    A proper hostname should be set at installation, or at minimum a notice shown to the Plesk admin that a manual setting change is necessary.

  17. Detach and remove Node.js app from the Toolkit

    Node.js Toolkit should have an option to remove Node.js apps after they've been installed on the website, and to detach them from the toolkit, like in WP Toolkit.

  18. Add support for OpenID/SAML SSO platforms

    Please provide a way to integrate custom SSO platforms with Plesk via OpenID/SAML protocols - the OneAll Social Login extension used to have this functionality, but it's currently deprecated and its replacement (Social Login extension) does not provide these options.

  19. Add possibility to configure Plesk to relay all Plesk notification emails to another SMTP server that requires authentication

    Currently, Plesk notification emails relayed to another mail server return "said: 550 Authentication is required for relay (in reply to MAIL FROM command)" errors.

    A set of separate settings that allow you to configure Plesk to relay all Plesk notification emails to another SMTP server while using authentication would be very helpful for such setups.
